"Phra Aphaimanee," "The Royal Musician," is a Thai Puppet at Rama 2 Park, Amphawa, Thailand. He is a prince from the kingdom of Ratanakosin, and his skill on the flute has captivated everyone in the army. Along the way, he met a ghost moth named Sumuttra who fell deeply in love with him, and they stayed together until they had a son named Sinsumut. Phra Aphaimanee is known to be a womanizer, having many lovers, including a mermaid, Suwannamali, Laveeng Wanla, and Vally. He also has another mistress named Vally. Mae Sarai, a highly respected Thai puppet artist, donated this puppet to the Rama 2 Park foundation. The 3D scanning of this puppet was conducted under the "Thai Puppetry Exhibition in Rama 2 Park Research Project," which was funded by the Ratchadapiseksomphot Fund and Chulalongkorn University.
